How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow around two hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What else we do in Richborough Port
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we’re called out for in Richborough Port
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Air the room after use
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
